UKPC Windscreen PCN - Disabled Bay - Ravernside Retail Park, Erd

[Jesse J]

Hi all,

I would like some advise if possible please.

 

On the 28/07/17 I parked in Ravernside Retail Park, Erd, to look around the shops.

 

When I went back to my car I received a parking ticket off UKPC for £60 as I was parked in a disabled space and didn't have a disabled badge showing.

 

That given, I am not disabled however, in my defence I had taken photos because

1. the paint off the disabled sign is faded on the floor,

2. the sign to say it was a disabled space is not clear to the naked eye.

3. the sign is not directly upfront of the space, so very unclear. (I have all this evidence in photos)...

 

I then met a guy called Dave who told me about this forum.

i ignored the first two letters of UKPC thinking it would just go away,

 

however I have now received a letter of DRP (Dept Recovery Plus) stating if UKPC don't receive £160 by 30/10/17 they are advising them to take me to court.

 

yes, a little bit worried now.

Any advise would be highly appreciated.

 

Thanks J

not such thing as disabled bays in any private car park

purely tarmac graffiti..

 

as for the DCA powerless muppets that can recommend nothing

they are not bailiffs

Its a parking charge. Basically, nothing will happen then?!. How many more letters should I expect to come through?

Don't start panicking just answer the questions asked by dx100uk on post 2. Do not bother to respond to DRP they have less power than my old shaver which has no battery. In any event they have no right in Law to add £60 to the debt-none at all. They are trying to freak you out and hope if they keep escalating their unlawful charges that would not stand up in Court, you will pay up.

Take a look at how many threads on here have been successful and at the same time see how many have been lost.

as pointed out the blue badge scheme doesnt apply to private land and even if the parking terms there dictate it is a very narrow interpretation of what it means becuse it is a contractual matter and the parking adjudicator has set a precedent on this matter.

 

paint on floor means absiolutely nothing at all and a "disabled" sign must conform to the norml on street format,

be at every applicable space

and also have a contractual term that is easy to understand at the entrance to the private land at the parking space itself to be enforceable.

From what you say it is all to vague to actually be an offer of terms.

 

All of this makes it unlikely that the parking co has a leg to stand on ( bad pun, sorry)

but it would be helpful if you can show us the ticket slapped on your car and the subsequent notices and letters.

 

It has already been pointed out that letters from Debt Collection Agencies arent worth the paper they are written on and they have no reason to add a penny to the bill even if that was legitimate.

 

The rely on people misunderstanding the difference between a dca and a court bailiff.

My cat can be a dca and have the same rights as all of the other ones, his typing will probably contain less untruths and better grammar.

 

So dates and time of event (we have date),

date you got NTK,

date you got other letters and

 

we need to see the letters and

the signage at the car park,

not just the disabled sign

but this will probably be enough to rubbish their claim on its own

[Jesse J]

I dont understand what you mean by that. I have received three letters so far. Two of the UKPC and one off the DRC.

we need to see the letters so we can tell you if they have any merits at all. Usually they get things wrong so destroy their own arguments
